Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein mobiles Röntgengerat mit einer Röntgenröhre, die über eine Armvorrichtung an einem Wagen befestigt ist, der mit Rädern versehen und auf dem Boden fahrbar ist, wobei die Röntgenröhre in der Längsrichtung des Wagens und in der Höhe verstellbar ist.The invention relates to a mobile x-ray device with an x-ray tube, which is fastened via an arm device to a trolley, which is provided with wheels and can be moved on the floor, the x-ray tube being adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the trolley and in height.

Ein mobiles Röntgengerät dieser Art ist durch den Siemens-­Prospekt Mobilett II bekannt. Die Armvorrichtung besteht aus einem Armteil, an dem die Röntgenröhre befestigt ist, und der mit einem zweiten Armteil, der an der Oberseite des Wagens angebracht ist, schwenkbar verbunden ist. Der Wagen ist mit einem Ausleger versehen, der als Stütze dient, wenn die Röntgenröhre in ihre Längsrichtung bzw. in der Höhe eingestellt wird.A mobile X-ray device of this type is known from the Siemens brochure Mobilett II. The arm device consists of an arm part to which the X-ray tube is attached and which is pivotally connected to a second arm part which is attached to the top of the carriage. The carriage is equipped with a boom that serves as a support when the X-ray tube is adjusted in its longitudinal direction or in height.

Bei einer Röntgenaufnahme wird das mobile Röntgengerät zu einem bettlägrigen Patienten gefahren. Bei der Positionie­rung der Röntgenröhre ist sehr häufig eine Längs- und eine Seitenverschiebung der Röntgenröhre erforderlich.With an x-ray, the mobile x-ray device is moved to a bedridden patient. When positioning the x-ray tube, it is very often necessary to shift the x-ray tube lengthways and sideways.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein mobiles Röntgengerät der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem eine Positionierung der Röntgenröhre in einer raschen und einfachen Weise vorgenommen werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a mobile X-ray device of the type mentioned, in which the X-ray tube can be positioned in a quick and easy manner.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß am Wagen eine zum Boden absenkbare derart gelagerte Abstütz­vorrichtung angeordnet ist, daß diese in ihrer abgesenkten Lage das Röntgengerät so abstützt, daß dieses um die Abstützvorrichtung drehbar ist. Durch die Erfindung kann die Röntgenröhre einfach positioniert werden gleichzeitig damit, daß der Wagen in eine Position gebracht wird, in der er bei einer Drehung nicht gegen ein Bett oder einen anderen Gegenstand stößt.This object is achieved in that a support device which can be lowered to the ground is arranged on the carriage in such a way that in its lowered position it supports the X-ray device in such a way that it can be rotated about the support device. With the invention, the x-ray tube can be easily positioned at the same time that the carriage is brought into a position in that he doesn’t hit a bed or other object while turning.

Es ist zwar durch die US-PS 3 790 905 bekannt, daß eine Röntgenröhre eines mobilen Röntgengerätes in seiner Längsrichtung und seitlich verschiebbar ist, ohne den Wagen des Röntgengerätes zu bewegen. Die Röntgenröhre ist an einem horizontal angeordneten Teleskoparm befestigt, der an einer vertikalen Säule angebracht ist, die um ihre Achse drehbar und mit dem Wagen verbunden ist. Die Rönt­genröhre kann hierdurch in solche Lagen positioniert werden, in denen der Schwerpunkt des Röntgengerätes erheblich versetzt wird. Dies führt mit sich, daß die Abstützfläche gegen den Boden in allen Richtungen verhält­nismäßig groß sein muß, um zu verhindern, daß das Gerät umkippt. Mit einem solchen Röntgengerät ist es schwer, zwischen den Betten zu manövrieren.It is known from US Pat. No. 3,790,905 that an X-ray tube of a mobile X-ray device can be moved in its longitudinal direction and laterally without moving the carriage of the X-ray device. The x-ray tube is attached to a horizontally arranged telescopic arm which is attached to a vertical column which is rotatable about its axis and connected to the carriage. The x-ray tube can hereby be positioned in positions in which the center of gravity of the x-ray device is significantly shifted. This means that the support surface against the ground must be relatively large in all directions to prevent the device from tipping over. With such an X-ray machine, it is difficult to maneuver between the beds.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Abstützvorrichtung das Röntgengerät derart anhebt, daß die Räder vom Boden abheben. Dadurch wird eine gegenüber dem Boden reibungsfreie Drehung des Röntengerätes erreicht.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the support device raise the X-ray device in such a way that the wheels lift off the ground. This ensures that the X-ray machine rotates smoothly against the ground.

Die Abstützvorrichtung kann auch so ausgebildet werden, daß sie die Räder derart entlastet, daß diese bei einer Drehung des Röntgengerätes um die Abstützvorrichtung als Bodenstützen dienen.The support device can also be designed such that it relieves the wheels in such a way that they serve as floor supports when the X-ray device is rotated around the support device.

In einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung wird vorge­schlagen, daß die Abstützvorrichtung mittels einer An­triebsvorrichtung in der Höhe verstellbar ist. Hierdurch können die Bewegungen der Abstützvorrichtung in einfacher Weise gesteuert werden.In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the support device can be adjusted in height by means of a drive device. As a result, the movements of the support device can be controlled in a simple manner.

In einer konstruktiv einfachen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorschlagen, daß die Abstützvorrichtung mit einer Abstützplatte versehen ist, die an dem einen Ende eines zweiteiligen Gelenkarmes angebracht ist, dessen anderes Ende mit dem Wagen drehbar verbunden ist. Der zweiteilige Gelenkarm kann mit Hilfe der Antriebsvorrichtung zusammen­geklappt bzw. auseinandergeklappt werden, wodurch die Abstützplatte in der Höhe verstellbar ist.In a structurally simple embodiment of the invention, it will be proposed that the support device be provided with a support plate which is attached to one end of a two-part articulated arm, the other end of which is rotatably connected to the carriage. The two-part articulated arm can be folded or unfolded with the aid of the drive device, as a result of which the height of the support plate can be adjusted.

Eine günstige Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt sich, wenn die Abstützplatte mit einer Welle versehen ist, die an einem sphärischen Lager befestigt ist, das seinerseits am Lenkarm angebracht ist. Dadurch ist erreicht, daß die Abstützplatte sich auch an einen etwas unebenen Boden anpaßt.A favorable embodiment of the invention results if the support plate is provided with a shaft which is fastened to a spherical bearing which in turn is attached to the steering arm. This ensures that the support plate also adapts to a somewhat uneven floor.

Im Hinblick auf eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Abstützplatte an der Abstützvorrichtung federnd gelagert ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die Abstützplatte auch bei unterschiedlichen bzw. ungleichmäßigen Bodenbelägen überall mit annähernd gleichem Druck anliegt.With regard to an advantageous development of the invention, it is proposed that the support plate be resiliently mounted on the support device. This ensures that the support plate rests with approximately the same pressure everywhere even with different or uneven floor coverings.

Im unteren Bereich des Wagens (2) zwischen den Laufrädern (3) ist eine Abstütz­vorrichtung (14) für das Röntgengerät (1) angeordnet. Die Abstützvorrichtung (14) wird später näher beschrieben.1 shows a mobile x-ray device (1) with a carriage (2) which is provided with two wheels (3) and two steering wheels (4) and which can be moved on the floor (5). The steering wheels (4) are attached to a boom (6) extending from the carriage (2). The x-ray device (1) is provided with a double arm (7), one arm part (8) of which is attached to the top of the carriage (2) in an approximately vertical position and the other arm part (9) with the arm part (8) around one Axis (10) is pivotally connected. The arm part (9) carries, via a holder (11), an X-ray tube (12) which is attached to the holder (11) so as to be rotatable about an axis (13). The X-ray tube (12) is shown in its parked position in this FIG. The boom (6) serves as a support for the carriage (2) when the arm part (9) with the X-ray tube (12) is pivoted about the axis (10) into a working position. A support device (14) for the X-ray device (1) is arranged in the lower region of the carriage (2) between the wheels (3). The support device (14) will be described in more detail later.

In der FIG 2 ist dargestellt, wie die Abstützvorrichtung (14) zwischen den Laufrädern (3) angebracht ist.FIG. 2 shows how the support device (14) is attached between the impellers (3).

In der FIG 3 ist die Abstützvorrichtung (14) gezeigt, die mit einer Abstützplatte (15) mit einem Lagerbolzen (16) versehen ist, der in einem sphärischen Lager (17) schwenk­bar gelagert ist. Die Abstützplatte (15) ist mittels einer Feder (18), die um den Lagerbolzen (16) zwischen der Abstützplatte (15) und dem Lager (17) angeordnet ist, federnd gelagert. Die untere Seite der Abstützplatte (15) ist außerdem mit einer Anzahl Gummistöpsel (19) versehen. Das Lager (17) ist um eine Achse (20) drehbar, die dieses Lager (17) mit dem freien Ende eines Armes (21) eines zweiteiligen Gelenkarmes (21,22) verbindet. Das freie Ende des Armes (22) des zweiteiligen Gelenkarmes (21,22) ist um eine Achse (23), die am Wagen (2) befestigt ist, drehbar. Die Achse (20) ist außerdem an einer Konsole (24) an­gebracht, die ihrerseits mittels einer Achse (25) mit dem Wagen (2) drehbar verbunden ist. Am Arm (22) des zweitei­ligen Gelenkarmes (21,22) ist eine Antriebsstange (26) befestigt, die von einem Elektromagneten (27) angetrieben wird, der an der Konsole (24) mittels einer Achse (28) drehbar befestigt ist.3 shows the support device (14), which is provided with a support plate (15) with a bearing pin (16) which is pivotally mounted in a spherical bearing (17). The support plate (15) is spring-mounted by means of a spring (18) which is arranged around the bearing pin (16) between the support plate (15) and the bearing (17). The lower side of the support plate (15) is also provided with a number of rubber plugs (19). The bearing (17) is rotatable about an axis (20) which connects this bearing (17) to the free end of an arm (21) of a two-part articulated arm (21, 22). The free end of the arm (22) of the two-part articulated arm (21, 22) is around an axis (23) which is fixed to the carriage (2), rotatable. The axis (20) is also attached to a bracket (24) which in turn is rotatably connected to the carriage (2) by means of an axis (25). A drive rod (26) is fastened to the arm (22) of the two-part articulated arm (21, 22) and is driven by an electromagnet (27) which is rotatably fastened to the bracket (24) by means of an axis (28).

In der FIG 4 ist die Abstützvorrichtung (14) dargestellt, wenn sich die Abstützplatte (15) in ihrer abgesenkten Lage befindet. Diese Lage wird erreicht, wenn der Elektromagnet (27) aktiviert wird. Der Elektromagnet (27) verschiebt bei einer Aktivierung die Antriebsstange (26), die gegen den zweiteiligen Gelenkarm (21,22) drückt derart, daß der Gelenkarm (21,22) ausgerichtet wird. Gleichzeitig dreht sich die Konsole (24) zwangsläufig um die Achse (25). Wenn die Abstützplatte (15) sich in ihrer abgesenkten Lage befindet, liegt sie im Zentrum zwischen den Laufrädern (3), wie es in der FIG 2 gezeigt ist. Wenn nun die Ab­stützplatte (15) mit Hilfe des sphärischen Lagers (17) und der Feder (18) dicht am Boden (5) liegt und die Laufräder (3) entlastet, kann das Röntgengerät (1) leicht um die Abstützplatte (15) gedreht werden, wobei die Laufräder (3) als Bodenstütze dienen. Durch diese Arretierung des Röntgengerätes (1) gleichzeitig damit, daß es drehbar ist, kann eine Positionierung der Röntgenröhre (12) in einer schnellen und einfachen Weise erfolgen.4 shows the support device (14) when the support plate (15) is in its lowered position. This position is reached when the electromagnet (27) is activated. When activated, the electromagnet (27) moves the drive rod (26), which presses against the two-part articulated arm (21, 22) in such a way that the articulated arm (21, 22) is aligned. At the same time, the console (24) inevitably rotates about the axis (25). When the support plate (15) is in its lowered position, it lies in the center between the impellers (3), as shown in FIG. 2. If the support plate (15) with the help of the spherical bearing (17) and the spring (18) is close to the ground (5) and relieves the wheels (3), the X-ray device (1) can be easily rotated around the support plate (15) be, the wheels (3) serve as a floor support. By locking the X-ray device (1) simultaneously with the fact that it can be rotated, the X-ray tube (12) can be positioned in a quick and simple manner.

Wenn die Röntgenuntersuchung beendet ist, wird der Strom zum Elektromagneten (27) ausgeschaltet, wobei eine Zug­feder (29), deren eines Ende an der Achse (23) und deren anderes Ende an der Konsole angebracht ist, den zweiteili­gen Gelenkarm (21,22) zusammenklappt, so daß die Antriebs­stange (27) in den Elektromagneten (27) hineingeschoben wird und die Abstützplatte (15) in ihre Ausgangslage zurückgeht. Als Antrieb für die Abstützvorrichtung (14) kann der Elektromagnet (27) mit der Antriebsstange (26) z.B. mit einem elektrischen Motor mit einer Spindel ersetzt werden.When the x-ray examination is complete, the current to the electromagnet (27) is switched off, and a tension spring (29), one end of which is attached to the axis (23) and the other end of which is attached to the console, the two-part articulated arm (21, 22). collapses so that the drive rod (27) is pushed into the electromagnet (27) and the support plate (15) in its starting position goes back. As a drive for the support device (14), the electromagnet (27) with the drive rod (26) can be replaced, for example, with an electric motor with a spindle.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform, die nicht dargestellt ist, kann die Abstützvorrichtung (14) das Röntgengerät (1) derart heben, daß auch die Räder (3,4) vom Boden frei gehen. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist es nicht not­wendig, daß die Abstützplatte (15) in ihrer abgesenkten Lage im Zentrum zwischen den Laufrädern (3) liegt.In a further embodiment, which is not shown, the support device (14) can lift the X-ray device (1) in such a way that the wheels (3, 4) also go free from the ground. In this embodiment, it is not necessary that the support plate (15) is in its lowered position in the center between the wheels (3).
